My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mr. Bennett Fitzgerald (DOB 11/1/24) is a sweet, playful, and loyal Maltese (purebred, no papers) who forms big bonds with his people. When he feels safe, he’s an affectionate lapdog… who also values his personal space. Best of both worlds, really.

He loves being close to his humans, enjoys a good lounge session, and can absolutely bring the energy for tug-of-war or fetch when the mood strikes. Bennett does best with adults or older kids. (My toddler riled him up, and vice versa.) He’s friendly with cats (though he does think chasing them is a fun game), and he’s had limited experience with other dogs.

Bennett knows basic commands, is crate trained for both day and night, potty trained, and almost dog-door trained. He’ll come with food, treats, and grooming supplies to help him settle right in.
